This Winter's Tale left me cold
I am a writer myself and what I observed is that this book could really benefit from some very serious editing. I purchased this book to read after watching the movie of the same name several times and loving it. The book is a real let-down. It bears practically NO similarity to the movie and it rambles on and on for 672 pages telling numerous stories about characters that the author fails to connect in an interesting way at the end. I found the conclusion of the book to be UN-interesting and disappointing. If I were this author, I would consider re-writing the entire book to resemble to movie script. Given the author's writing style though, I question whether he could resist the urge to embellish aspects of that story to the point where it too, would be unrecognizable and cumbersome. ...

A fanciful view of "The City", aka New York seen through many colorful characters, all described in amazing prose.
It's as good as I expected. I read it the first time in 1984 and am enjoying it again.

Enthralling, surreal, a masterpiece.
Another masterpiece by Helprin. Set in a familiar yet surreal world, the story grips the reader with its wonderful language and convincing characters. Don't bother with cheap formulaic novels when Helprin's writing is available. "A wild, abundant, generous book...part mad invention, and ...worth the trip." Anne Tyler "A dazzling modern fairytale by a storyteller of seemingly effortless and artless grace." Joyce Carol OatesAnother masterpiece by Helprin.

Strange, beautiful, imaginitative, entertaining, a book that time will treat with respect.
Set in a dystopian New York City surrounded by an impenetrable fog. Imaginative, well-writtten, compelling novel. I'm reminded in its otherworldliness of "Sailor Song", though this is no comedy and will certainly weather time better. If you've not read Winters Tale, do.
